The Austin Allegro Story - Big Car

Austin Allegro Restomod by Retro Power review - Why You'll Love The Most Hated Car - Jonny Smith & RetroPowerCars​

Austin Allegro Restomod by Retro Power review - Why You'll Love The Most Hated Car Ever. This is one resto mod that is hard to hate, and impossible to ignore. Costing new Ferrari money, this is the first drive of a completely custom body swapped Honda Integra Type R that has taken 4 years to design and build. It isn't Jonny's Allegro, but it's probably the ultimate bespoke build you've seen in Europe.

The Austin Allegro that thinks it's an Integra Type R! | Henry Catchpole - The Driver's Seat​

If your automotive dream is an Austin Allegro with carbon fibre bodywork and Honda Integra Type R underpinnings or a Saab 900 that drives like an Audi RS, then you need a small but rather mighty company based in the Midlands in England.

Retropower has been going since 2009 and it is the company that Gordon Murray called when he wanted someone to build him a special Mk1 Escort.

Founded by two brothers, Callum and Nathan Seviour, Retropower is a one stop shop for bespoke cars of breathtaking diversity.

In this episode of The Driver’s Seat on Hagerty, Henry Catchpole gets behind the wheel of their latest build - Project Lucky Strike. It has turned what is often considered one of history’s most undesirable cars into something genuinely attractive and fun.

As well as driving the Allegro we have a chat to Callum and take a tour of the workshops to see the scope of what Retropower does and understand the philosophy behind the company. We also hear why they have never restored and modified a Porsche 911 and we meet Buzz, the Jack Russell.

Ford Capri Perana V8: The South African Muscle Car That Was Too Fast to Be Allowed - Chris VS Cars​

Some cars become legends because they win races. Some become legends because they break records.

And then there are the truly special machines. The ones that become legends because the rule makers looked at them, watched them annihilate everything in sight, and decided the only solution was to ban them.

The Ford Capri Perana V8 belongs firmly in that category.

We need farkers & their "foot-pounds"

BHP = 100% gets my vote for comparing but "foot-pounds" over Newton-meters? Hell no.
